Iselin, NJ—October 23, 2017--Santech Solutions is releasing new
application programming interfaces (APIs) for its suite of solutions at NAMSS’
41st Educational Conference and Exhibit in Colorado Springs (Oct. 21-25,
2017). Santech is applying strategic IT intelligence to modernize provider data
management infrastructure across all stakeholders with its in-depth knowledge
of providers & payor’s business needs. With launch of its open APIs Santech
will enable hospitals & medical practices to efficiently submit the
provider data to multiple participating payors.

“Payors & Providers need smarter
solutions which can communicate with each other to exchange provider
participation information. Since this is critical for the success of payor-provider
partnership, Santech has deployed an open infrastructure solution suite which
provides readily usable APIs and a user interface for submission of provider
data usually sitting in multiple systems with these hospitals & practices
such as Credentialing, Quality, EMR, HR, Practice Management Systems,
Spreadsheets and Manual Notes” said Neeraj K. Sharma, Chief Operating
Officer at Santéch Solutions.

This year’s NAMSS Conference would be enthralling
and Santech is ready to showcase the open APIs which will reinvent a synergetic
way of functioning within the industry. Industry which is traditionally being
competing for work flow systems often ignores the value of collaborating
together to make it more efficient to improve healthcare ecosystem. With the help of these API’s,
fragmented and distributed provider data can be pulled together from multiple
systems, submitted seamlessly to payors and on the other end transformed in a
usable format for payors to use this data for credentialing, directory and Value
based re-reimbursement (VBR) contract management purposes.

Earlier this year Santech was selected
as a ‘cool vendor’ by leading analyst firm Gartner for enabling transformational
provider management due to its continuous innovations and modern provider data
management infrastructure. Sharma added, “Offering an API to allow other
solutions to leverage this comprehensive infrastructure suite was a natural
next move to help the industry.”

APIs will
help in submitting this data from heterogeneous sources and Santech’s
comprehensive I-Net Exchange program deploys patent pending algorithms to
identify correctness and completeness of this information, accuracy &
validity of this information, identification of payor/plans specific business
requirements and conversion of this information into payor’s most usable optimal
formats.

APIs
coupled with user interface would provide additional capabilities to hospitals
and practices to nurture their provider data based on their specific business
alignment with each payor and network.

These APIs
& user interface would also allow hospitals & practices to receive and fulfill requests coming from payors for seeking/updating this information.
Traditionally these requests get exchanged through email/faxes and phone calls
making it cumbersome and time-consuming for medical professionals.

Santech’s intuitive APIs provide
an appropriate solution to the three major problems of streamlining the
payor-provider relationship. First, APIs allow hospitals & practices to
seamlessly submit their provider data with Payors right from their existing
system of record. Second, APIs reduce staff time in catering the provider directory
update requests from multiple Payors. Third, APIs reduce errors & mistakes
of manual updates leveraging Santech’s patent pending data cleansing &
indexing algorithms. Through industry accelerating features these APIs will
help in modernizing the payor-provider relationship with more accurate provider
information.

A well-timed offering for NAMSS attendees

Reputed system vendors,
participating in NAMSS, work with multiple hospitals & practices to house their
valuable provider data often struggle to exchange this information with Payors.
We encourage all these system vendors to Beta test these APIs to enhance their
system capabilities for exchanging information with payors.

“How
payers and providers exchange information is in drastic need of streamlining.
While many of us are focused on filling that need, Santéch believes that if we
work together, we can truly turn the provider-payer relationship around. We
welcome technology partners and system vendors to work collaboratively to extend
their system capabilities by using these APIs.” said Sharma.

Neeraj Sharma, Santech’s COO and
Bert Fajardo, Santech’s VP of Strategy, are available at NAMSS to discuss about
"Simplified and Intuitive Provider Management Platform for Credentialing
and Compliance Needs" at Booth No. 108.
